Coastal tractor é o nome do fabricante de tratores para agricultura, e creio que ser este o tipo de equipamento a que se refere o seu contexto.

four-wheel-drive tractors, 4-wd tractors


Explanation:
"Wheel drive tractors" seem a little vague. It could be a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive. The context calls for a 4-wheel drive since it will be attached to a spraying device.

"Larger planters and other row-crop implements are driving up demand for 4-wd tractors that can run between the crop rows."

(sprayer connected to) a wheeled tractor or a knapsack sprayer


Explanation:
The context is proposing two possible types of sprayer:
1) pulverizador acoplado a trator de pneus
2) pulverizador costal

A "pulverizador costal" is a knapsack sprayer, carried on the back. Check out the images in the links below.

The translation could be rendered as "a tractor-driven or a knapsack sprayer".
